WARNING: Bear in mind that since the Wilderness is used to reach him, only three (3) items are kept on death or four (4) items max with Protect Item activated if un-skulled, so try not to bring valuable items, and go to an unpopular, low-populated world. If you are attacked, do not retaliate back at your attackers as they may use skull tricking in an attempt to make you skull, losing all but one of your items upon death if you used Protect Item (i.e. have Auto Retaliate turned off). Simply try to log off if this happens as the area just west of the fenced area and the aforementioned area is Single-way combat.

If possible, try to have another account kill the lesser demons outside as PKers often lure them out so they are not interrupted by them while killing other players. The lesser demons will spawn back in the fenced area upon respawn.

Using a Ghorrock teleport tablet which will bring you near the Wilderness Obelisk west of the KBD lair. Be aware that this is a hotspot for PKers, and it is advisable to have a scout check the area first.

Using the Games necklace, select the Corporeal Beast option and leave the cave. Go to the Wilderness Obelisk just south-east of the cave. Completion of the hard Wilderness Diary is highly recommended as you will not be teleported into other areas, especially the level 50 one as it is a hotspot for PKers. If this is not completed, simply wait until you are teleported into the level 44 obelisk (run south-east of your location) or the level 35 obelisk (run north-west of your location).

Run north from Edgeville. It is relatively safe, but avoid the western ruins as the Crazy archaeologist resides there and has a relatively large wander range around it.

From the Deserted Keep, run west to the Frozen Waste Plateau until you see a fence, and then run south-east of your area. This route should be avoided as it takes the longest out of the four suggested routes and is in relatively deep Wilderness.

Freezing dragonfire: An icy version of the normal dragonfire which deals up to 10 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of freezing the target similar to a Skeletal wyvern's ice breath.

Shocking dragonfire: A electrical version of the normal dragonfire which deals up to 12 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of draining the target's stats by 2. Super restores should be brought to counter this effect, especially as it will shorten the duration of combat potions.

Poison dragonfire: A green version of the normal dragonfire which deals up to 10 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of poisoning the target for 8 damage. Antidotes should be brought if you do not plan to bring a Serpentine helm.

It should be noted unlike other dragons, which primarily use Melee most of the time, the King Black Dragon uses dragonfire most of the time throughout the whole kill. Keep above 30+ health as the special dragonfire usually stacks up in damage very fast.

When solo'ing, no matter what combat style you use, it is recommended to ALWAYS fight him in Melee distance with Protect from Melee on. This lowers the chance of him using his unblockable special dragonfire attacks. Attacking from a distance will result in more food being used, so it is not advised.

When he freezes you, use this time to heal by eating a couple pieces of food at the most, and try not to consistently fall below 40 Hitpoints during battle! Check your stats when he shocks you, and boost them if they're low. A house tab could bail you out if you're in danger, so you can die in your house saving all your precious items. After the KBD dies, go in the centre of the ring of coins to await his respawn.

The King Black Dragon can only hit 0-10 as long as you don't go within his Melee range, which is the whole point of using Ranged. The only Prayer that you should only focus on is Eagle Eye to buff your Ranged attacks although you really don't need Prayer at all aside from Protect Item.

When he freezes you, use this time to heal by eating a couple pieces of food at the most, and try not to consistently fall below 40 Hitpoints during battle! Check your Ranged stat when he shocks you, and re-boost it if it's low. A house tab could bail you out if you're in danger, so you can die in your house saving all your precious items. After the KBD dies, wait outside of the ring of coins to for his respawn.
